Blazing a trail through innovation and leadership in sustainability

Aurora Medical Center – Manitowoc County in Wisconsin has been harnessing the power of renewable energy since 2017, when the facility installed solar panels on its lower roof.

Carilion Rockbridge Community Hospital
As part of a broader energy management plan, the hospital partnered with utility companies WPPI Energy and Two Rivers Water and Light to install a solar array.

The energy significantly reduces greenhouse gas emissions, tying into the hospital’s decarbonization goals.
